An independent scholar of sociology, and philosophy of social sciences
with a background in software engineering
I am an interdisciplinary researcher trained in sociology with a professional background in computer engineering. The problems I am primarily interested in are at an intersection of sociological theory, philosophy of social sciences and computer science. I believe that it is productive and illuminating to cross reference prospective solutions in each of the three fields with fundamental questions in others to safeguard against ill-informed arguments and guide to novel ideas.
As an early career researcher, having graduated in 2023 from the University of Manchester with an M.A. in Sociology, I look forward to becoming a part of global academic communication and deciding whether to pursue a PhD or another M.A. in sociology, philosophy or computer science. Currently based in Belgrade, Serbia.
